Writing is a noble profession if you're able to inspire people and let them learn something new from your story. I believe that stories should be shared. I have written a short story in my writing blog and I am somewhat hesitant to let you read it guys. But I know Mylotters are supportive people and helpful people so I am taking the courageous stand and posting it here. Thanks for reading it and reacting. I would appreciate it a lot. http://gewgawwritings.blogspot.com/2008/12/i-hope-youll-have-happy-new-year-too.html

The story is not just a story, it's a reality. I must admit, I don't enjoy reading stories these days due to my new money making project. But then, I can say that it is highly recommended. Definitely, a good lesson to learn. Congrats, Jena!

Actually, I am super busy. By the way, thanks for leaving a comment on my latest project. If you'll notice, it's NOT the usual blog you see everyday. Thanks really for story, as it's nice to be diverted once in a while.

Hi Jena. As you know I've already responded positively to the story on your blog. But what a good idea to ask for responses here. You shouldn't feel bashful about it. It's well worth a read, and you might get some helpful suggestions from other writers.

Your stories reflect a creative essence, very detailed and poetic in its expression. Enjoyed reading chapter: 16. I hope this will be published in the form of a book in near future!

Hi Jen, That's a wonderful yet realistic story. You write like a skilled professional author do (or you are one of them already?) You seems to have no problem in writing. The kids like in you story do exists in every corner in this beloved earth. Well... I wish I can write like you do. In the past I also used to write short stories and sent it to teenlit magazines. And they published some of them . But that's in my native language. I wish I can write in English well like you. Thanks for inspiring.

I just read your story and it is very good. The sad thing about it is that it is all too true. Kids are having to scrounge on the streets for something to eat. Your story kept my interest and was done very well.
